I know this is less than relevant but how did the ponies reload/hold/construct guns when they don’t have hands?

If we're going off MLP lore, then 1/3 or so of them have telekinesis.
Other than that, some other mechanism I guess?

Jesus Christ can you just shut up

OK so this post was a bit short (I was on my phone when I made it, sue me) but I wanna expand it a bit more to explain to you why your constant complaining about the slave threads is so tiring (and not just because 'you keep going on and on about it'):
- You're complaining about something that is perfectly OK to do. Even if the threads are low-effort, there is absolutely nothing in the site rules or whatever that says that RPing slave markets or having slaves or whatever is forbidden. You're allowed to roleplay your nation as being 'bad' and engaging in practices the majority of people would regard as being evil (so long as it falls within the PG-13 guidelines for the site). This is not a game where you can only RP as some goody-two-shoes nation or whatever, you can be evil, you can commit genocides, you can have slaves, you can do all that. Other than the threads not being high-quality (and honestly most RP threads on this site aren't that high quality, let's be perfectly honest here), there is nothing wrong with threads like that. As I said earlier, there's not even that many of them and you're acting like they're taking over the boards.

- Second, you keep conflating how these people roleplay with their RL views. Let me put it as simply as possible: this is a game, it's all pretend. Are there people who have their nation representative of their RL views? Certainly, but to expand that to thinking that every nation represents the person behind the account's real life views is, quite frankly, idiotic. If I made a new nation that was some brutal dictatorship with racial supremacist policies that considered the lesser races as only good for slave labour and unethical human experimentation, does that mean I actually support that shit in real life? Of course not, it's all just part of the story I would want to tell with that nation.

Well, I think I need a break from posting in this thread, to not cause more trouble.

"are these people racist?????"

my man can't go 5 minutes without complaining about some stupid shit and falling for bait, it's like genetic for him

New cliche: NS stats nations complaining that Not-NST nations don't use NS stats.

Haven't we talked about the whole stats thing during that time I brought up Texk?

Please. No. Do not mention it again.

I get why a decent number of folks don't want to RP with pony, furry, or elven nations in an MT setting. It can be pretty jarring for immersion when you have sapient ponies with flank-mounted canons cantor up, and I say that as a horse girl extraordinaire.

What if ponies just want to come over for tea? There is not only war.
Seriously, warnings in OPs are pretty much a must if you don't want certain players in your realistic RP. Rather, I would get mad at those who leave RP open to all, but if they attract too many pony / furry nations they start getting vague, perhaps even abandoning the thread.
Although I never understood why they exclude non-human characters but humanoid ones don't. Or nations that are great empires and enjoy a vast territory and maybe yours also has a large territory, so much so that it even shares some territory. For example as if you were the Oceania of "1984" (which includes the Americas, Australia, and Great Britain) and one day I would declare war on the British Empire. How would you justify this?
The only solution for nations like mine is either to wait for some "similar" nation willing to RP together or to find someone they don't care about realism and wants to role-play just to do something fun, regardless of who gets into it.

If we exclude unicorns that can use magic (as Soviet Progonya said), the answers are only two:
Magnetic hooves; that is, ignore any notion of physics. Ponies can take up arms because yes.
Are they pack animals? Then they will wear everything! What? Did you think that a more "realistic" solution had not been thought of?

I tried that on Godular, but Romanic Imperium denied me the fun I could have had by paying for slaves with Vorpal Kittens.

I sooooooo wanted to do the ‘You wanna see ‘em do a neat trick?’ bit.

way too much effort, would be ignored as no one would read it
“haha I nuke your things” that’s all it takes

I liberate all your slaves and also steal all your bitches.

The effort is what makes it fun

on a side note, every FFT empire should team up to dunk on a random slaver thread

I'll not talk about slaves and what you don't want to talk about here, I'll not post here for a while, and by a while, I mean an indefinite amount of time.

Le temps Philippeaux: Operation Mill succeeds in retrieving stranded TAF Osage crew, soldiers report no hostile engagements. | Large oil slick belonging to unknown vessel spotted 204 km off Afrean shores. | Occidentian helicopter squadron reported missing near Papirstan-Arakistan border, Al-Muhahar suspected to be responsible. | Noirien Defense Force overthrows Black Coast government, military vehicles surround Port-Zaba.

In that case you just, you know, report the thread/poster instead of complaining about it here in the NS circlejerk thread.

I will add a little thing: FFT empires that also have slaves, should dunk on a random slver thread, and claim that they will enslaved those slavers (talk about irony).

Ehh...i think i should change the topic...Who wants to talk about frogs?

on the topic of frogs, actually, why aren’t there more giant frog monsters in fantasy nations.

It’s always Slimes, Skeletons, Skeleslimes but never the classic Giant Frog Creature that’s hiding in the city sewers.
